spinning reels

[I make oil]

I always wash off my rods and reels after every trip. I pay to much for my equipment not to take care of it. I also wipe down my guns and lightly oil them after a hunting trip. Why wouldn't you? A few minutes of maintence on your equipment after a day of use will ensure it serves you for a long time.As far as spinning reel size I like a 3000 size as my go to for salt water. I usually target trout with the occasional red thrown in. If I'm targeting Reds I move up to a 4000 series reel. I spool both with 20# powerpro but the get much more line on the bigger spool. I also like to use a 20# fluro leader tied directly to the powerpro. There is little difference in size between the two reels but after casting all day I notice the difference. When I'm fishing fresh water I'm more of a pan fisherman and go down to ultra light under mount spincast reels. Ultralight spinning reels with 6# triline mono or a 2000 series spinning reel with 8# powerpro.
